Grimes Hurdle

The Grimes Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt novice hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older.

It is run at Tipperary over a distance of 2 miles (3,218 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.

The race was first run in 2001 (as the Betdaq Hurdle) and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2006.

The same horse, Grimes, was previously celebrated (2003) in the name of the Tipperary race now known as the Like A Butterfly Novice Chase.

The race is sponsored by the company owned by J. P. McManus's younger brother, Kevin McManus Bookmakers.
